YALE SENIOR SOCIETIES.

322 High Street and Keys Makes Eff. teen More Happy by Summoning Them to the Mausoleum on College Street.
 The annual senior elections took place yes- terday afternoon at the north end of the campus near Durfee. It was accompanied with the usual excitement and interest and scarcely one was seen to leave the dense crowd of students until the last man was chosen. Durfee and Farnham presented a pretty sight with the many bevies of ladies | filling the windows and smiling benignly | upon their gentlemen acquaintances below. | The juniors were on tiptoe with excitement | and in small parties of two and three talked absently of this and that while each in his | heart prayed for that rap on the shoulder | which would give him Bones' or Keys hall as club room for the rest of his college course.
 Just as Battell chapel bell tolled five times the curiosity of the crowd was aroused to see which of the two societies would be the first to send man to set the ball a-rolling. Collie" Jennings, of Bones, was the first man and he slowly wended his way through | the crowd until he caught peep of Isbell, a high stand man and an editor of the Lit. Whack went his right hand upon that gen. tleman's shoulder and the two started for Isbell's room.
 George Woodward, of Keys, next showed his immovable face and he tapped his namesake, noted for his banjo playing and general popularity.
 High Stand John Bennetto next gave the &I,nI I1kA will find nice dwelling from this out at 322 High street.
 Anderson tapped Fellowes a Lit. man, and Pritchard invited his fellow editor on the Lit. to keep him company. Hare tapped Sol ley, junior Ex. man, and heavy weight Cox did likewise to the popular Fred Stevenson, of last years winning crew and present member of '97's crew.
 When Charlie McConkey was told he could call alKeys last evening through the kindness of "Salmi'' Morse, the crowd showed it's ap- preciation by tumut tuous applause. Charlie was deemed only as a probable candidate, but had he been "left" his many friends would have found the reason why.
 MT. Thacher next discovered Roby in 8 party of juniors, and through the mystic tap he became a dll-fedged Bones man. Roby won his way in society from being member of the junior Prom. committee. Fluffy" Haven said to McMillan that he could parti- cipate in some. of Bones bacchanalian feasts, and no one felt happier than "Jim" himself. Kendall, while Luddington was finding Carter, also of the Lit. and high stand man, sent Morrison to his room to tell him he could tread his way to High street every Thursday.
 Chambers, 's7's good looking man, now summoned Ripley and immediately after wards the multitude went wild with joy when Gillespie asked Harry Beecher, Yale's famous quarter back on the football team, to enroll himself with the members of Keys. Heyworth for his base ball playing and Brig ham for the same answered to the calls of Sprague and Young. H. Perkins summoned Neare and Brigham followed suit with Brins- made.
 'fJack" Pomeroy, with his stately tread and the tread of thousands, played peek a boo with Hurd, another Lit. man who happened to be honored, and funny man Kent, not to be outdone, patrolled the crowd, and with a bang Stimson was made happy. Stimson took the junior exhibition prize this spring and will adorn Bones with his high stand ability.
 Corwin, the funniest man in college next to Charlie Hinckle, paraded down from the High street mausoleum and the cry of "Play ball" sent him to work. He selected Fisher, the inventor of everything difficult to a fresh mans mathematical head in the plotting of curves. The two started in a presumable straight line, but a freshman was heard to remark that they cut 8 parabola before they had gone fifteen steps, Cooley, of the News, was summoned by it's past chairman, Cowles, and Rogers helped to swell the fifteen by call ing on Waite.
 HinckL., Yales pet comedian, twirled unconscio,usly his moustache once and then to make llp for lost time hunted up Brins- made, the president of the University club. Charlie is said to have recited the 'sProdigal Son" as he started on his tour from 322 High street. At least his walk indicated as much.
 Sheffield summoned the youngest man of the Stock Exchange to give pointers to 'S7 Keys ID en on Crises" and 'ffalls." Chase summo ned Parsons and Jenks closed the list of Keys men by filling up the number in the per son of 'Kid" Wallace, who is as much deserving of the honor as any selected for the College street paradise.
 To Il up the fifteen Bones men Knight asked Walker to become member, and Sheppard set the crowd wild by tappin g Yale's pitcher, Stagg.
 Stagg, as he was starting off was greeted with tn rec time three and the crowd felt pleased with his election. Douglas next com pleted the candidates by summoning Seward, the pre- sident of the Athletic association.
 Seve ral soreheads were around the camp- us last evening, but the selections on the whole were approved of. Thirty telegrams were St mt over the wires and thirty purses will robably be we'll filled by Saturday night.
